Good Morning Volvites!
I've got a bunch of used oil to send back to FCP and I'd like to do so as economically as possible. I thought about USPS Book Rate/media but I'm assuming SOMEONE at some point would question why the books are sloshing. Interactive pirate books! Now with real Black Sea! 1 in 10 comes with a real shark!
Does anyone have experience with shipping the La Brea tar pit back East? JK, I'm down South but it's erm, several years' worth of black gold from the fleet.
Meanwhile...I will weigh them and continue my research.
Thank you and have an awesome day!

Just how many barrels do you have? Ocean tankers are cheap for large volumes.

What is the credit you'd get vs shipping heavy liquid?? I'd maybe just go the local used oil drop-off.

I haven’t shipped too many fluids as I live around the corner from them now, but when they ship the tape the lids, use 3M electrical tape, then enclose the bottle in a heavy bag with a zip. Tie closure
Nice to hear from you Starbuck.
